I found the link. Hope it works for you and you feel better soon

Yes, I'm having trouble getting my BG down over the past couple of weeks but I think I've had a low-level cold (minimal but definite symptoms) too.

 

If it's of any reassurance, my BG has been fine for the past 4-5 years and the regular blood tests have confirmed that, so I've not been too concerned about my T2 and BG, or felt the need to test much.

Having felt rough for a week or so I decided a couple of weeks ago to restart testing and found them all to be above 8, sometimes as high as 15. I've had 11's sometimes on waking up, with hot feet and general sweatiness and readings in the low teens hours after a meal and following my experimenting with low carb days. The only symptoms I've had are a sore throat and slight cough late last week (all cleared up now but still self-isolating) and into the weekend, and I've been sleeping a lot more in the past 3 weeks.

Tried to see the doc earlier last week for his assessment but got a phone consultation with a different doctor and another blood test form. I fully understand that really shouldn't be a priority at the moment so I'm just hanging on and hoping that it was a virus and it'll clear up soon.

 

thanks for sharing very informative. I had noticed previously that whenevr I have slight cold or fever my sugars go up and now I know why.

 

Thanks for the info. Just started a set of testing and found my bloods higher than I expected. Think I've got the cold/cough bug my daughter brought home, so that explains it. It's reassuring to have a reason.
